(CNN)Language changes with the times, and when it comes to our conceptions of gender, the times are most certainly changing.

We are opening up to the idea that binary conceptions of gender are unnecessarily rigid and don't correspond to the self-image of a great many people, and even that people's sense of their gender may not correspond to their biological sex. In this new world, a bland opposition between "he" and "she" seems increasingly antique, and even insulting, to many.

My pronouns are "glorble" and "ghluxull-m'rrathaxarkta"


Failure to respect my pronouns makes you a sexist, racist, transphobic, cishet shitlord.

Neuter

Which actually translates to English as neither.

Makes perfect sense when you think of it that way.

Society simply has to evolve to become more compassionate toward the different-conceptually gendered. This is just a natural evolution of the linguistics related to that process.

That's actually me.

Whenever I see someone downvote me, I downvote the whole page, sometimes the whole thread.
